      Wrong, if he treated the community like actual people he would of told you how bad this game both looks and runs and he would of told you not to spend your money on it. At the least he would tell you to wait until they patched things up (if they ever decide to do so, probably not) he hasn’t said a single word about the poor graphics and absolutely abysmal performance.

    Hopefully this can help if anyone else has struggled with this too. When I made the sandwhich for shiny flying encounters I used the Sour and Sweet herba Mystica with the according ingredients from the chart. I was confused as to why I wasn’t getting extra scyther encounters besides the normal spawns. It turns out the sweet and sour herba mysticas put together gave me capture power flying instead of encounter rate flying so just be wary of that!

    This is a very fun way to research and find shinies you're seeking out without relying on outbreaks! The main thing I see outbreaks still holding up on this is sandwich-less searching. Sometimes, you see an outbreak and acknowledge that you haven't gotten like any Herba Mystica drops lately but still want to hunt. I can see outbreaks being good for those moments. But if you've got the Herba to spend, this definitely should be a go-to.

    I had a ton of success with this method.

Since I didn't have to worry about the outbreak ending from killing too many. And within the 30m of that psychic sandwich I was able to also find a shiny Bronzor and Flittle.

      Yeah they've definitely promoted and made shiny hunting a lot more fun. I've hunted 10 shinies so far while also trying Masuda method for a shiny sprigatito, and well, I haven't had any luck on the egg front 😂 but the hunting is so much fun. Really hope they add overworld sparkles, some of these shinies (Garchomp tier) are just.... yeah.

    One great spot is Rotom at the lighthouse by Porto Marinada, it's only Rotom with Electric power (and perhaps Ghost too but I was using the time post-Iron Hands). The problems fall with Pokemon like Cetoddle who are only Ice type and only spawn in icy areas where everything else is its type, so outbreaks may be needed for them (or Masuda, of course).

    I agree, this is my favored method, even with base odds. But it only really works in select cases and in areas where only that one species of that one type appears. I had an outbreak of Vaporeon that I managed to get a shiny out of, and I don't know if I could have found another place to make it work without just running into a bunch of Golducks instead.

It's sitting in my box as a beautiful shiny Noivern right now; I'll probably EV and Hyper Train it as soon as I get the chance.

  • @ge789

    While I didn’t use this strategy for Shiny Hunting, I did use a sandwich to try and find a Frigabax in the area near the Ghost Gym, by using a sandwich boosting Dragon encounter power. That worked out well, since I found one almost immediately, alongside a bunch of others, when I could barely find one before the sandwich.

      You don't even need a sandwich. There's a dedicated tera Frigibax spawn to the north of the highest peak in Paldea, nearby the river. And since it's a tera spawn, it will by default be a higher level and have better IVs than most open world spawns.
